When Widow Liu saw that they were actually going to Old Ye's house, she became even more angry.
The old Ye family is really our nemesis. Ever since they came, our life has not been smooth.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She simply decided not to go home and turned to walk towards the house of the famous fortune teller in the village.
Ye Juan'er and Liu Quan were driving the car. Before they reached Old Ye's house, they heard a lot of noise mixed with the excited laughter of children.
"Left, a little to the left, there are several more over there!"
"Dad, look up, there's a huge one up there!"
"Be careful, you're stepping firmly. Falling is no joke!"
"Persimmons are so sweet! Mom, try some."
When Ye Juaner got out of the car, she saw that Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si were each carrying a basket and picking persimmons from the tree.
The Ye family members gathered under the tree, each of them looking up.
Each child held a ripe persimmon in his hand and ate it with a smile on his face.
"Hey, picking persimmons?" Ye Juan'er walked forward and looked up, "The two persimmon trees in front of your house are very old. In the past, Uncle Wei gave persimmons to everyone every year.
"Not only are there ripe persimmons, but there are also ready-made persimmon cakes, which are delicious."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ye said, "You've come at the perfect time. I just said I'd send some persimmons to your house later!"
"Since you are here, just take it back."
"Hey, I came here to give you something. It's not right for me to take it away."
As Ye Juan'er spoke, she pulled Old Lady Ye into the house. Liu Quan followed her silently, carrying something in his hand.
"What are you here to deliver again?" Old Mrs. Ye turned her head to look at Liu Quan holding something in his hand, but was grabbed by Ye Juan'er.
"If it weren't for your third child, we wouldn't know what to do with the water truck incident.
"The other day, the boss hunted a sika deer and gave my family so much meat. I've been remembering it all!"
"Isn't this mutual?" Old Mrs. Ye said, "When we first arrived in the village, you were the first person to help us.
"Besides, both the waterwheel repair and the venison are free. It's really rude of you to be so polite."
"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant." Ye Juan'er pulled Old Lady Ye and sat down on the kang before saying, "When we were repairing the waterwheel, your third son was under a lot of pressure.
“There are so many eyes watching in the village. If there is any mistake, your family will have a harder time in the village.
"Although the venison was hunted by the boss, it can still be sold for money, and he even left so much good meat for my family."
Ye Juan'er talked for a long time, and seeing that Old Madam Ye was about to open her mouth to refute, she said, "Why, your family is allowed to repay the kindness, but I am not allowed to reciprocate?"
After hearing what she said, Old Lady Ye smiled helplessly and patted her, saying, “What a person you are!”
Although I did these things out of a sincere desire to repay Ye Juaner for her kindness towards my family, I never thought about asking for anything in return.
But seeing Ye Juaner's current attitude, Old Lady Ye still felt very relieved. This was the right way for the two families to get along for a long time.
"I don't know what your family needs, so I went to the city and bought some snacks. This is the best-reputed snack shop in the county. You can try some.
"There's also braised pork elbow. My son Xiang Lei loves his honey-glazed pork elbow the most.
"Unfortunately, I went too late today and the honey pork elbow was sold out. I had to buy the braised pork elbow instead."
Every time Ye Juaner mentioned one, Liu Quan took one out and put it on the table.
"Here is another set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone for your Changrui.
“And this tangram puzzle, I bought it for Sunny Day.
"And this..."
Although Old Mrs. Ye was relieved just now, she didn't expect Ye Juan'er to buy so many things.
"Aunt, wait a minute, what are you doing? Why did you buy so many things?
"I know your walnuts sold for ten taels of silver, but I can't stop you from spending like that!"
When Ye Juaner heard Old Lady Ye mention walnuts, she stopped taking things out and winked at Liu Quan.
Liu Quan understood and went outside to guard the door.
"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Ye was a little uneasy about her behavior.
“Sister-in-law, I didn’t know it before I left, but I finally understood it after I went to the city this afternoon.
"Why do you think the wife of the head of the human family gave us so much money?"
"Why? What's wrong? Aren't the walnuts worth the price?"
"It's worth it, but think about it, sister-in-law. Xiang Lei has been picking walnuts for several years. In the past, it was considered good if he could earn half a dozen yuan in one autumn.
"They are just a few broken walnuts picked up by the child. If she doesn't tell us, how can we know how much they are worth?
"Forget ten taels of silver. Even if she gave us one tael, we would be grateful, right?"
When Old Lady Ye heard this, she felt that what Ye Juaner said made sense.
From what Han Chunling said at noon, it seemed that she was almost losing money to gain publicity.
But if she didn't tell them, Ye Juan'er's family wouldn't know how much these walnuts were worth, and they wouldn't dare ask her for the high price of ten taels of silver.
"Why is that? Could it be that the clan leader wants your family to do something?"
"Sister-in-law, you really think too highly of us. How can we possibly help the clan leader?
"You don't know, after we entered the city, the clan leader's wife has been asking me about your family, wanting to know what the relationship between your family and the Qin Mansion is like.
"The walnuts Xiang Lei picked up this time were able to sell for so much money, all thanks to your family."
